Split pea soup if one of my crockpot favorites. I had any leftover ham or pork cooed very fine for flavor. You need the dried peas, a few carrots chopped up very small, little onion, maybe garlic. I had some seasoning salt. Cook all day til peas are soft and soup is getting think. It will thicken more as it cools. If it is too thick, you can add some milk or cream to thin it out. This freezes good too. Babs
